Spring Semester Sign Up

A few ideas to add to a lackluster course load.

Spring Semester Sign Up

Another semester bites the dust. The beautiful thing is that the close of one semester usually leads to the beginning of another. So the burning question: What classes should you fill your life with for the first four months of 2015?   

For some, options are limited. Core and major requirements take up all hours and leave no time for recreational courses. However, students with a bit more wiggle room may be searching for a few good fillers. That ideal, slightly-outlandish class that teaches something cool but does not penalize the GPA. For anyone who falls into that category, here are a few little gems for your consideration that you might not have known TCU offered:   

ARST 60140 Painting    
Even if you aren't a Picasso, it's good for the soul.

NTDT 10103 Food Preparation   
Apparently there is a lab portion where you get to just cook food. What more do you need in life?

PEAC 10721 Raquetball     
No other sport creates a more intimidating athlete...

MUSI 11040 Class Piano     
Because you should have listened to your dad when he told you at age 12 you would regret quitting. They always know...

DANC 20442 Hip Hop
Popping and locking is (almost) a proven stress reliever.

PHIL 10003 Philosophy One-Meaning of Life
If there's a chance it's as simple as taking a class to figure this one out, then why not give it a try.

WRIT 10203 Intro to Creative Writing 
You could probably use some more designated creativity time in your life.

CHIN 10163 Beginning Chinese
This could change your whole future. Or do nothing for you. Only time will tell.

Obviously the TCU class search is at every student's disposal, but the drop down list of class categories is overwhelming enough in and of itself. Hopefully having a few options weeded out here inspires you in some type of way.

And remember, learning is fun.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
